The Subscription Trap
Businesses love subscription models because they create recurring revenue. As consumers, we tend to underestimate the cost of "just ₹199/month." When you aggregate your OTT platforms, software tools, cloud storage, and gym memberships, the number becomes substantial.
Financial Strategy: Do a subscription audit every 6 months. Cancel anything you haven't used in the last 30 days. Take that exact cancelled amount and set up an automated SIP into an index fund.
